Reed can't go on forever, time to bring someone in to take his role perhaps?

This new managers thread is going well

Spoke to a mate earlier today and he said 'Make sure you get some fuel.' Then he winked at me. If that's not a sign then I dont know what is?

But we have been doing this for the last three years and our league position has improved.

The key questions is what lengthily contract do we offer this new manager? Why should we gamble now and lose him in 2 years time if we offer a 3 year one now.

So far Les Reed has got it right on the managerial appointments. We have to trust him on another good one I guess.

Perhaps Pellegrini is coming in on the 1st of July and he is already working with Reed to sort out contracts and players. Wanyama leaving, Dundee youngster coming in with Redmond? Plus a top City youngster linked?

It's very unlike the press not to have a snippet of Pellegrini becoming our new manager. Could be the Jack Schitt has taken many Saints fans for a ride.

Plus Benitez being at Newcastle. IMHO I don't think it will be Pellegrini, It's too obvious and it could be a ploy to divert the truth away from who we really want. Loved to be wrong.

You need to lie down and rest Fry as you're not well.

Any Klinsmann and Ralph links from the past? Could be an option as we love to employ ex good footballers.

More than likely someone part of the coaching team. Problem is they will want a holiday before starting the job.

I think they identified Garcia as the one they wanted but will not sacked Lee and the goal keeping coach. The 3 P's are on the shortlist but they would prefer other options IMHO. Reed is starting to feel the pressure now.

Which French managers have we been linked with?

In recent years not one player has gone on to become a better player. Infact so many have struggled to get in the national squad since leaving us. If you asked any of the players if they have regrets leaving us then I'm afraid none would say yes. Money talks.

This black box thingy is something that I have invented myself on my laptop. I load up excel and on that I have manager names, age, wins percentage and availability. I then hit sort by putting the highest wins % at the top. Then I look at the top three and think they will do a good job for Saints in my correct age range of 45- 52 Simples.

Spurs seem to have the upper hand on us at the moment. When was the last time we came away with a great deal from them?

I'm not sure why the club have put it out there on who we are interested as manager for Saints. Its always our way to do things quietly and because of this I reckon this is a decoy as we want someone else.

Fry you need to get a hobby as you're becoming a boring old c**t.

So would a ****ing penguin.

Kane and Sterling are shocking. Get Rashford and Vardy on asap to give us hope.

You would think the person we are interested in is not under contract elsewhere.

You can't help thinking what sort of England team would be put out today If Pottychino stayed at Saints. Thats the bit I enjoy most being a Saints fan when you watch them put on the national shirt. I expect Les wants that too with the Redmond and Chambers deal in the pipeline alongside Garcia?

Koeman rumoured to be after kevin Strootman of Roma. Could it be a player Saints would of wanted if we bring in Garcia? Which players of Roma could do a job for Saints as they have many good players in their squad.

Should make it a double that he will be Spurs manager two years later.
